The Prime Ministercalled on European leaders to agree to finance an adequate bailout fund to stop the crisis spreading to other countries or “go in a different direction”.

He warned the eurozone “cannot long put off” the decision over whether to bring stability to Greece and other weak economies or allow them to leave the euro.

Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron said: “The eurozone has to make a choice.

"If the eurozone wants to continue as it is, then it has got to build a proper fire wall, it’s got to take steps to secure the weakest members of the eurozone, or it’s going to have to work out it has to go in a different direction.

“It either has to make up or it is looking at a potential break up. That is the choice they have to make and it is a choice they cannot long put off.”
